Description
*You think I am down...
well maybe I am, but only
cos my body needs its time
to raise up again...
I might seem calm,
while obeyin you...
I might seem nice,
while smiling at you...
But I feel rage towards you all,
I feel you're stealing my forces full.
It's gonna end,
cos my mind thinks:
no longer more
I'll fill your dreams.
You gotta do what helps yourself:
my choice is freedom,
a brand new set
of duties and rights
you never cared of
too taken in makin me do
your jobs and plots.
I might look down,
but I do reason well:
after this month,
you'll think of me.
With regret.

Picture taken with Zeiss Ikon Netter (an old vertical camera property of my father) lights artificial from three lamps, old film (from there the dusting). Scanned with Epson Stylus CX 3200, normal settings.
No postwork. The picture is of that dimension due to a scissor's cut :).
Model of course is me.
----------
I took a long series of pictures with me posing and with that old camera for a request Black_ST did to me months ago to pose for him.
I gave him 9 shots, and some more I will, but I kept for myself of course the majority of the session (two days.. it was long.)
This one was perfect to explain you all the way I feel lately. I am never around due to insane working.. but it's gonna end. As New year starts, I will take 6 months off from my work as University Researcher. Basically cos I don't stand the Milan's crew there around me.Which makes me do things I was never hired for doing.
In the 6 months off i'll start a new career as administrative responsible of an important society round me.. and maybe I will finally get my second Master degree (in Psychology) and finish to write my book of tales for children, and searchin an editor for it ;)
So don't worry for me in case you were. And read the poem.. it explains much.
Hope you enjoy :)
PS: Out from this session in grey-blue will be taken the picture I am gonna use for the gift of Xmas to some of you dears :) expect it in parcel at your houses :) Hugs again :)

Every one has his or her own story, thanks for sharing. I'm glad you've found your way. I wish you all the best.
I know what you must do a choice of 2 the first is go in to art and selling it plus mixing in some very nice writen text you write so beautifull and second you buy a big peece of land and become the ruler because all these people like you and thats as mutch people that live in the netherlands :) I am gona look at some drawing now k speek to you later :)
Friends are the ocean we all float upon. They buoy us up. Peace, and look to your friends.
Very nice indeed. I would very much like to see more of this.
Wow! You sound just like I feel - been workin' insane overtime hours, myself. It sure can get you down - but not out! Enjoy those 6 months (I'm jealous - I only get 7 days!) I'm sure the time away from work will be great - nice pic, too, btw!
Meli...Everything Will Be Positive As Time Passes By. We All Have A Purpose In Life And We All Have Been Blessed.Your Path Has Been Paved In Gold And You Dear Meli.. Opened My Eyes With Your Superb Talents In Each And Every Way You Express Yourself."Bless You"
Beautiful shot Meli,cool done!!!:o)
bello rivederti ;)
Just beautiful.....the picture is very good also ;) I wish you a very loving Christmas my friend.
Beautiful shot and poetry!
I love self portraits as they provide a true glimpse of one's inner workings. With the complement of the poetry this succeeds brilliantly. Excellent work.
Hi dear Meli, Great shot of you, dear! What's going on? Haven't been on the Renderosity page for quite some time. So busy with Webism things. Glad you're one of us. Good luck whatever you plan to do! Ingrid
Wow, you have long beautiful hair! The poem is great- really explains what you are going thru on the job. Sorry to hear. Just remember to keep that chin up! -Deitrick
Good luck for your Master degree, dear. If you get it, maybe you'll meet my wife someday. (she's working as a psycho)... Happy new year!
Eres hermosa, y me encantel poema! Have a beauty x-mas and very happy new year! =)
An wonderfully beautiful picture of an equally wonderful lady. You have such heart and soul and it shows in your photos. I look forward to hearing about your new work in 6 months. They will be very blessed to have you! Thank you for the Christmas Card! Have a very Happy New Year my dear friend!...Cheryl
Beauti compo... lovely poem too. Love presentation and scene. Perfect capture! Como siempre friend. Happy new year 2005! Hugs Gloria. v
As always an incredible image! I love the poem and the picture!
You Are Missed...
The Pixalation of the image definately provides its texture to the photo, and that chin pointing right above talks about the confidence of the pose/model. Great Job..
Pretty lady and lovely pose! Excellent!
Change is a good thing never bad change does not always mean you have it in your pocket lol its in the plan go for it love this art!
Bellissimi: la foto, la posa, la modella e i capelli lunghi...che io adoro :-)
Wonderfull u r there!!!
Simply wonderfull work. And these marks of the old film I guess is the main and most extreeme finish... though the object is not the least of the important things :)
you are a beautiful woman.... fantastic... hugz...... Franis
Well expressed emotion. Your first published book? I prefer independant-publishing and marketing. they make digital copies for much less money and still fantastic professional quality! It is a good way to get a start. Trafford publishing will help you put out a first work at $1000 U.S. for first 2500 copies.
It's all so very very.... (insert extremely effusive adjective here). Very nice work.
u are not only a stunning artist but also a very beautiful women.
